Overview & Reviews
The 2009 Jeep Patriot receives an available uconnect multimedia integration system, additional sound insulation, a spruced-up dash layout and a new center console and door panel design with padded armrests.
- Low base price, Jeep-lite styling, decent off-road ability.
- CVT saps power and produces tiresome engine drone, lackluster interior materials, meager cargo capacity.

Great CARS Deal (-8000) - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Rick - August 17 - 2:10 pmMy (Not) Clunker was a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo that I hated to part with. A Dealer found a 4X4 Patriot Sport D with CVT1 two weeks into the program and I was able to get $8000 of the price. A no brainer. They had 55 before, but were all gone. It is not trail rated and my first 1000 miles has seen 5% on dirt roads in the hills. Does the ESP eat up gas mileage? Since it is a Sport D I had to install skid plates, hitch package, roof rack for kayaks/bikes. Planing next year for lift kit, 17" wheels and AT tires, front bumper with winch. It is a Jeep and will be treated as one. It has been a Jeep so far, but more off road tests yet to come. I expect good performance from this Patriot.

1st time Jeep owner - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Connie - April 10 - 3:46 amI have always driven a sub-compact vehicle and was reluctant to look at SUVs for environmental reasons. However, after living in MI for 9 years and going through one of the worst winters ever, I decided I needed to look at an AWD-type vehicle. I have had Chrysler products my entire life and had heard good things about the Patriot. I was not disappointed when I purchased the car. It rides well, not at all like an SUV to me, and it is environmentally friendly based on the MPG it gets. As long as I live in the upper Midwest, I will be driving a Jeep.

Love it - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Mike - February 26 - 10:40 pmThe Patriot is the ideal 4x4 with good MPG. I got the Freedom Drive II and still get 22-25 MPG depending on driving habits - the car is roomy, the leather is great and the uConnect Navigation radio fantastic. I could not be happier with the car, the interior design and the looks. The car inspires me. I tested the Subaru Forester, Imreza and Legacy as well as the VW Tiguan. My Patriot is American made, handles as well, does not require premium gas and is as "luxurious". The attention to detail is apparent in the 2009 model. I love the 110 Volt outlet - for Kids and charging stuff. I upgraded to the hitch for bike accessories. Hopefully Ill never need the extra safety features or the Jeep.

Best Vehicle Ive Ever Bought - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By IF Big Sky - January 25 - 1:03 pmCant brag enough about what a great purchase this was. The price was terrific. The fuel economy is outstanding. Its a Jeep. I feel safe using it on my long weekly commute in the harsh winter climate of Montana. I use it for work and it is a very professional sharp looking vehicle that doesnt scream obnoxious wealth. I cant believe the nation isnt gobbling these American made fuel efficient good looking vehicles up.

My Lil Jeep - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Mike Q - December 13 - 10:00 amI bought this Patriot, because I needed more room. I had a std cab Ford Ranger, and my two boys and myself were filling it up. Im a Assistant Scoutmaster of a Boy Scout troop and we camp and hike a lot. This will work perfect for our outings. I wished that I would have gotten a 4wd but I think this will work perfectly either way.

My first Jeep - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By wallywow - November 13 - 10:46 amI bought this Jeep for the 4X4 capability. In MI, I burned up the trans in my 2000 Grand Marquis because I kept getting stuck in the snow, over 9 years (only 92,000). I have to say that I will probably never own another vehicle, other than a JEEP 4X4. Vehicle paid for itself in the first month I had it. We had one of the snowiest Dec on record, and I was able to go where others got stuck. I have nothing bad to say about my JEEP. I love her. I named her SYDNEY. :-) My next JEEP will be the Limited (maxed out).

my 4th Patriot - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By tom polcari phd - February 24 - 4:56 pmIm on my 52nd Chrysler product and of those, 4 were Jeep Patriots. Good gas mileage, even in the city. Ride is good, with plenty of interior space. Patriots went thru numerous improvements for 2009- interior design, noise levels, ride upgrades, etc. this year alone, Ive had the orange and the black- one of. my favorite recent Chrysler products. Today. I may buy a Jeep Compass which is the Patriots upscale cousin.

Fun to Drive - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By jake - October 21 - 12:36 amHad an 06 4runner but this patriot beats it. Better gas mileage and handling ... It really is fun to drive. But I miss the 4runners roll down window on the rear hatch ... Wish Jeep would offer that feature its great for my Labrador and when I visit the local home depot.

Good Value - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By OpenRoad - August 4 - 7:00 amIt appears Jeep/Chrysler put a lot of thought in to fuel economy vs performance, Offroad capability vs Onroad handling. It is very well balanced. Its not the fastest but you reap huge rewards in fuel economy. Great Onroad handling and foul weather confidence. This evening I was driving on a dirt road that turned into a mud bog. I was worried that I would have to get out and push or hike out of the wilderness for help. I have a new appreciation for the patriots capability (I didnt have to jump into the mud). For those wanting more extreme offroad capability jeep offers a trail rated package. The vehicles to compare it to are Toyota Rav4 and Honda CRV. Once you try the Patriot you will buy it

Great car..... So far - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Fred - December 7 - 7:30 amWe have 5500 miles on it and it averages about 25mpg all around. We bought the Limited FWD with the sun roof... and yep it leaked. We took it back to the dealer and they replaced it. Hope that fixed it. Drives great, fun to drive and looks good. We got the extended warranty (Max) thought it a good deal. All in all its been a great car.. gets down the road great.
